    I'm moving to mixcloud people

    Podomatic has lost it's edge. Follow me on, https://www.mixcloud.com/mikey_metric/ And the radio show on AfterDark Radio, 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, 5-7, with my man RollingLegs http://www.afterdarkradio.org/ So I'm forced to come up with a show twice a month. Some broken beat vibes to tempt you across. Peace.

    Sunday Roasts

    And this is it. The cave is back in Mark 4, but more about that when i post a actually mixed recorded from it. Anyway back to this offering. Now I wasn't mixing or even into dnb when any of these tunes originally came out, the only way I discovered these gems is via the help of old skool tape packs, other DJ's online mixes, and tracks appearing on LP's that i brought for other reasons. The aim of this outing was to create a mix that sums up what i feel it would have been like listening to back2back pirate radio sets in the early nineties on a Sunday afternoon just after lunch with some of the lads round. No real back2back on this one just me going deep. Anyone in the know with old dnb music will know most of these, but if you're only used to mixes CDs and tape packs from the pre-96 period, you might find find a few you don't recognise. For example i am unaware of Origination - Music Takes Control & Mirage - Personal appearing on any commercial/bootlegged mix tapes. I could be wrong though. Metalheads - You And Me [Synthetic] Origination - Music Takes Control [Rudeboy Records] Tom & Jerry - A Patch of Blue [Tom & Jerry] Chalke - The Resurrection [Force of Nature] Grooverider - Sinister (Remix) [Reinforced] A-Sides and Nut E-1 - Tonight [Bare Necessities] LTJ Bukem - Coolin’ Out [Good Looking] Mirage - Personal [Odysee] Photek - The Rain (Remix) [Razors Edge] Sounds of Life - Don’t Resist The Beat [Certificate 18] System Ex - Say It [3rd Eye] Danny Breaks - Droppin Science Pt2 (EZ Rollers Remix) [Droppin’ Science] Wax Doctor - Kid Caprice [Metalheadz] Hieroglyphix - Destiny [Looking Good] Intensity - Generations [Basement] Photek - The Water Margin [Photek Productions] Andy C - Cool Down [RAM]

    Good Vibrations

    Well it's been a while bit I'm still here and ready to drop another mix for your summer afternoons, recorded back in 2012 in the den mk3, this one is surprising in the fact that 5 years into the podcast these 90's dnb tunes haven't been been played yet.(Diggers Warning: There are some anthems in here). But with this mix it was worth the wait let me tell you. Heavy on the amen in the beginning before lightening up in the middle, then going back into the amen for the close. NOTE: The den's activities have ceased for a bit(i know, obviously) while life gets a serious for a while, but I hope to present a brand new den set-up in 2015. And for the time in-between the den with be going roadshow, with recorded live parties and random mix sessions where possible. But never mind all that I've got at least 2 more already in the bank for '13 and will drop them over the summer. The summer is here, Let the good vibrations ring out through your speakers. Remarc - Soundmurder (Loafin’ in Brockley Mix) [Whitehouse] Danny Breaks - Step Off (Splash Remix) [Droppin’ Science] Source Direct - Exit 9 [Source Direct] Dillinja - In The Mood [Mo Wax] Intense - Only You [Creative Source] Rob D - Clubbed to Death (Peshay Remix) [Mo Wax] Future Engineers - The Silence [Renegade Recordings] Source Direct - The Crane [Source Direct] Remarc - R.I.P (Remarc Remix) [Suburban Base] Omni Trio - Renegade Snares (Roasted Rollin’ Mix) [Moving Shadow] Axis - Euphony [Looking Good] Source Direct - Different Groove [Odysee] P-Funk - P-Funk Era [Frontline] Nookie - The Eclipse [Reinforced] Mirage - Feel My Dreams [Odysee] Attica Blues - Blueprint (Photek Remix) [Mo Wax] DJ SS - Rollidge [Formation] Alias - Long Time [Bassbin] Till the next one.

    One Track Policy

    BACK, ON TIME (relatively) AND ROLLING. This one's another big mix. The theme this time is (was supposed to be) that an artist gets one shot (track) only in the mix, but i have to mention that Dev and his Alaska moniker is the one exception to the rule. but if you have as many Dev Pandya tunes as i have, it's too hard not to play two. Again all tunes you won't have heard from the den before! Some liquid, some amen, a good looking tune, a little tech and a subvert central tune!!! But they're all rollers!!! Calibre - Why Time [Soul:R] Tronik 100 - Reachin' [Renegade] Q Project - Radar [Good Looking] Pieter K - Maze [Subvert Central] Nebula - Sound Barrier [Bustle Beats] Breakage - So Vain (Remix) [Bassbin] Alaska - Arcosphere [Arctic] Break & Silent Witness - Dialling Out [Critical] Teebee - Silent Depths [Certificate 18] Paradox - Tomorrow's Tomorrow [Paradox Music] Commix - Strictly [Metalheadz] Random Movement - Struggle to the Grave [Bassbin] Marcus Intalex & ST Files - Lover [Soul:R] D.Kay - Quiet Earth [Renegade] Artificial Intelligence - Sky High [V Recordings] D Bridge - These Little Things [Metalheadz] Now tell me you didn't enjoy that!
